The Emirati Al-Khaleej newspaper said that the UN truce in Yemen faces many threats and obstacles - despite its extension for an additional two months - in light of the continued military violations committed by the Houthis in various governorates, especially Marib, in addition to the ambiguity of their political position on the efforts of the United Nations and the international community to return to the country. Negotiations and the search for a peaceful solution to end this conflict and give Yemenis hope for stability and peace.
The newspaper added in an editorial entitled: "Yemen's truce calls for help," that the UN envoy, Hans Grundberg, arrived in Sanaa and returned without clear results to his discussions with Houthi leaders about opening roads in Taiz and other provinces.
It suggested that the international envoy did not reach serious understandings that would allow him to announce them. Indeed, some leaks confirm that he was frustrated after the coup militias confronted him with a package of impossible conditions, some of which were not in the decisions of this stage of the good offices aimed at bringing the points of view between the two parties to the conflict.
It noted that the Houthis, after Grundberg left Sanaa, sent reinforcements to the fronts in the governorates and launched an unjustified aggression against the Yemeni National Army sectors in Marib, which puts the UN truce on the brink of complete collapse, leading to thwarting all peaceful efforts supported by the United Nations, the Gulf Cooperation Council and the forces the grandfather affirmed its full conviction that there is no military solution to the conflict.
The newspaper added, "However, the Houthis seem to see the opposite, and they are moving in a different space than what is required at the moment. Instead of opening the crossings to Taiz, they are waving to "open the graves," as the head of their negotiating delegation threatened, which is a response to Grundberg's visit to Sana'a and a reckless defiance of a group that proves, each time, that it does not believe in peace and does not value its literature and standards.
The "Alkhaleej" said that "Yemen should have started a new page to restore the hope that was pushed away by the atmosphere of war with the displaced and the displaced, but the intransigent approach of the Houthi militia does not intend good and works to waste this precious opportunity that may not be repeated if the truce falls and meets the fate of its predecessors over the course of seven years.”
The newspaper concluded by saying: "The Yemenis have made enough sacrifices, and have endured more than what requires patience, and therefore this truce, which is now calling for help, must not be undermined, and the Houthis must be convinced that they are part of Yemen and are not guardians of it. On this basis, efforts have been made. Peace and preparing the atmosphere for the start of serious negotiations that would enable the formulation of a comprehensive political solution. This vision is consistent with the regional context that aims to end disputes through dialogue and distance from armed conflicts that have brought nothing but destruction, poverty and terrorism, and have achieved nothing but loss and backwardness for those who bet on them.”
